The team has previously scored six wins in the GTS/GT1 class at Le Mans (2001-02, 2004-06, and 2009). The team moved to the GT2 class in 2010 and the Le Mans race was a tough teacher that year, with both cars retiring before the end. For 2011, the GT2 class was renamed as the GTE Pro class.

A lot can happen in 24 hours of racing and this year’s event proved no different. The #74 car, of Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen, and Richard Westbrook, was lost to an accident after leading the GTE Pro class for nearly sixteen hours.

At that time, the #73 car was a lap down from the lead. A concerted effort by the team drivers unwound the one lap deficit and 25-year-old Tommy Milner was able to pass for the lead with a little over two hours remaining. Earlier in the week, the team had focused on race setup, satisfied with their qualifying times.
